Hello again everyone. It has been awhile but now it's time for another adventure with Sonic and the Land Before Time. And by the way, my story uses the Modern Sonic and not Sonic X.

(Series Intro)

Intro Theme Song: 'We Can' from Sonic Heroes

(Song Starts)

Wooo! All right!

The sun is shining high in the sky. Littlefoot appears by a hill with a smile. Cera then appears beside Littlefoot with a smile as well. They both run through grass as Littlefoot's grandparents, Topps, and Tria watch them go by. Some Flyers fly by and then Petrie appears while flying around with a happy face. Petrie then hovers by some shallow water where he finds Ducky and Spike. Ducky slides off Spike like a real slide into the water. Ducky and Spike have happy expressions. They see Littlefoot and Cera running by and started following them. Ducky rode on Spike as usual. The scene then shows a nearby cave. Chomper and Ruby appear from the cave and see the others running by. The 2 dino kids join them.

Oh yeah!

A circular portal appears by another hill and Sonic emerges from it, zooming fast.

Look out down below

Sonic is on the go

Sonic zooms through some hills in the valley and then sees the kids. Sonic then zooms to them.

Can't stop this party til we save the world

Sonic then stops by the kids and the kids stop running as well. The kids smiled at Sonic and Sonic smiled back. He gestured them with a hand to follow him and runs at a slower pace. The kids then take off running to follow.

This time, not alone

We've got some friends along

And as a team we can become even stronger

The kids run right beside Sonic. All of them were having fun.

Together, we can, overcome all the odds

It's never as hard as it seems

The scene then shifts outward and shows an open field while the scene keeps going. Tails then appears while flying with his namesakes. He smiles at the 'screen' and flies off. Amy then jumps into the scene and does an adventurous pose, and then runs off. Knuckles then jumps in and does an adventurous pose as well, and then jumps away.

Everyone can do something special

The secret is sharing our dreams

The scene goes back to Sonic and the kids as they run into a rocky area. Suddenly, they all skid to a halt. The kids have frightened expressions while Sonic has a brave expression. The kids' enemies: Red Claw, Screech, and Thud have appeared, along with Sonic's enemy: Dr. Eggman, in his hover vehicle. The Sharpteeth growl and bare their teeth. Eggman glares at Sonic and the kids while shaking his fist. A flash of lightning appears and some thunder is heard. The scene then shows an unknown dino creature by a high cliff with a small, red and orange crystal in his hand. He glared at Sonic and the kids. He then crushes the crystal and the land near the group started breaking apart while shaking. Sonic and the kids were now surrounded by a sea of lava. The kids were very afraid but Sonic wasn't.

Yeah!

We can make it if we all stick together

We won't give up, not ever

Sonic then pulls out a green Chaos Emerald and the gemstone shines brightly. The scene changes in a flash of light and Sonic, and the kids were now on a log in a river. They all rode the log as the water pushed it.

And everything's gonna be all right

We all bring out the best things in each other

Water splashes and the scene then shifts back to the valley. The scene then shows Ruby and Chomper. Chomper then sees a pine cone and kicks it. Cera catches it with her horn and then throws it. Sonic catches it on one knee, tosses it up, and kicks it one way. The pine cone goes towards Littlefoot who then hits with his tail. The pine cone goes over to Spike who catches it in his mouth. Spike then runs another way. The other kids follow Spike. Their backs are towards the 'screen.'

Together we are stronger than anyone else could be their own

So much better than alone

Sonic then appears. He then looks at the 'screen' and gives a 'thumbs up' with a toothy smile. He then zooms away.

Oh yeah!

(Song ends)

The title appears: Sonic Returns To The Land Before Time

(Intro ends)

Chapter 1: A New Adventure

After a very long time, Sonic zoomed back to the past with his time band and was reunited with the dino kids once again. The kids were always happy to see Sonic and Sonic felt the same way. Sonic was also starting to get to know Ruby more. Ruby was a little more intelligent than the other kids and, of course, Sonic already remembered Chomper. Chomper's Sharptooth parents allowed the kids to watch over their son. Ruby was the one who mostly took care of Chomper in a cave. Since Chomper was a Sharptooth, he couldn't eat plants like the Leaf Eaters. So, Chomper found another food solution: bugs. Sonic was also introduced to Tria, Cera's Stepmother and Tricia, Cera's little sister. Sonic laughed a little when Tria called Topps 'Topsy.' Topps got a little annoyed with Sonic's chuckle. Tricia was a little afraid of Sonic at first, but after some time, she started to like Sonic.

The kids then told Sonic about their new Sharptooth enemy: Red Claw, and his cronies: Screech and Thud. Red Claw was a T-Rex (Large Sharptooth) who had a red scar that started at his left eye all the way to his small left claw, hence his name. The injury could have been the result of a fight that happened a long time ago. Screech and Thud were Raptors (Fast Biters). Red Claw was gray colored while Screech was blue colored, and Thud was green colored.

But Sonic wasn't fazed by the thought of the new Sharptooth threats. He brushed off the thought and told the kids that it would be no big deal and that he would help protect them. The kids smiled and felt relieved. Though Sonic didn't forget his enemy: Eggman.

Night was now falling. Sonic rested by a tree near Littlefoot and his grandparents. But then a storm came in. Littlefoot had trouble sleeping because of the rain but his grandma comforted him. The little Longneck went back to sleep. Sonic wasn't too bothered by the rain since he rested under a tree. The other kids tried to get some sleep as well. In a small cave, Chomper and Ruby were getting ready for some rest as they watched the sky water. But then suddenly, they felt drops of water hit their heads. They looked up and saw water leaking from the stalactites.

"The stone teeth are dripping" stated Ruby. Chomper then climbed a rock that was close to one of the dripping stone teeth. He tried to plug it with his finger but then the water started to fall faster, getting Chomper all wet. Chomper felt annoyed.

"Oh dear. Now your tail is dripping" said Ruby. The water then broke a hole in the small stalactite and flowed fast. Chomper was really getting upset now.

"I gotta make it stop!" exclaimed Chomper.

"Wait Chomper" said Ruby. Chomper then bit off the top of the stone tooth but now more water started coming in. Chomper then kicked the other dripping stones loose but he only made it worse. More streams of water were flowing from the ceiling. The ground got a little flooded. Chomper then groaned in annoyance and Ruby had an upset expression.

"Now I'll never get to sleep" Chomper complained.

Next Day…

The dino kids, except Ruby and Chomper, were now eating their green breakfast. Sonic then came over to the kids.

"Hey guys" said Sonic.

"Hi Sonic" said the kids as they were munching on some leaves. The trees were a little wet from the storm that happened last night.

"Man, that was quite a storm we had last night" stated Sonic.

Ducky nodded. "That sky water lasted a long time. It did. It did."

The other kids agreed. Petrie and Cera didn't like the fact that some of the leaves were still wet and soggy. Littlefoot then said that the Bright Circle will dry up the leaves soon. Ducky licked her lips as she was about to eat some more leaves. But then she bit down and missed as 2 young Dome-Heads came out of nowhere and grabbed the leaves from her. Ducky got upset and yelled at the Dome-Heads that the Tree Stars were not theirs. But the Dome-Heads didn't listen and kept running. Ducky then ran after them. Sonic then watched Ducky chase after the Dome-Heads. Near a small waterfall, Ruby was eating some sort of seashell. She really enjoyed the taste of it. Suddenly, she heard Ducky yelling at something. She turned to see the 2 Dome-Heads that had the leaves in their mouths. They ran by and then Ruby shouted to the 2 dinos, "Hey." The 2 Dome-Heads stopped running and looked at Ruby.

Ruby frowned at the 2 dinos. "Those Tree Stars that aren't yours AREN'T yours!"

The Dome-Heads dropped the leaves with wide eyes and ran off while moaning in sadness and fear. Ruby then went over and picked up the Tree Stars. Ducky then came over and felt impressed by how the Dome-Heads listened to Ruby. Ducky then thanked Ruby for getting the leaves back and for scaring away the Dome-Heads. Ruby replied, "Thank you for the thank you." Ducky then shared some leaves with Ruby and Ruby ate some. Sonic then zoomed over to Ducky and Ruby.

"What was that all about?" asked Sonic.

"Those 2 Dome-Heads took away my Tree Stars but Ruby's big talk scared them away" said Ducky. Ducky then said that the 2 Dome-Heads didn't listen to her but listened to Ruby, since Ruby was taller than Ducky.

"Yeah, sometimes others don't always listen to the smaller ones" said Sonic. Ducky nodded while feeling a little sad since she was a bit smaller than the other kids.

"But the size of something doesn't ALWAYS count. It's what you can do with it" Sonic said with a smile. Ducky then had a smile. She felt a little happy by Sonic's encouragement. Sonic and the 2 kids walked back to the group.

"Hello my friends. My friends hello" Ruby said as she, Ducky, and Sonic came by the others.

"Hi Ruby" said the other kids. Chomper then came in while walking past some plants. He yawned and said "Hi" as well. Chomper looked tired. Sonic and the others noticed this.

"Hey Chomper, what's wrong?" asked Littlefoot.

"Not much I guess. I just need to find a new cave to live in" Chomper said while feeling upset. Cera hmphed while frowning. Ducky then said that there was always something wrong with Chomper's cave. Chomper then replied "Not always." Chomper then also said that he and Ruby were happy that the other kids' parents allowed them to stay in the caverns. Ruby then said that they would have to be careful of Red Claw and his Fast Biters. Sonic and the others nodded.

"Okay, so what's wrong with your cave this time" Cera said with a frown.

"It's leaky" stated Chomper.

Sonic crossed his arms with a smile. "Well, I'm sure it's no problem."

Cera nodded. "Yeah, how bad could it be?"

Chomper then told his friends to come with him. They walked over to Chomper's cave and went inside. Chomper then pointed to the leaky holes up above. The water was still dripping all around and there were some puddles. Chomper then explained how water started coming in a fast way due to the storm that happened last night. Sonic then thought that this might not be something that can be repaired. Chomper then said that the leaking kept him up in the night. Some water drops fell on Spike's head. Ducky then said that she wouldn't be able to sleep with that kind of problem too. Chomper then said that the leaking only got worse.

"Yes, though there might have been less water if Chomper hadn't made those holes" Ruby said as she pointed to the broken stalactites. Chomper sighed in a sad way and replied "Yeah." But then, the little Sharptooth started to cheer up.

"So, I thought that we could go exploring and look for a new cave" Chomper said happily.

Sonic then smiled. "Sounds like a good idea to me."

However, the other kids weren't sure about that idea. Petrie felt pretty afraid.

"Explore… the s-secret caverns" stammered Petrie.

"I don't know Chomper" Littlefoot said while feeling uneasy.

"Come on. It'll be fun" said Chomper.

Sonic then came in. "Yeah, guys. Where's the fun if you just stay in one place for too long? You gotta take some chances. We might find something new."

"Let's go adventuring!" Chomper said cheerfully. The others thought for a moment. Sonic did have a good point and they are a team. The other kids then agreed.

"Okay, let's go then!" Littlefoot exclaimed happily.

"Alright!" exclaimed Sonic. Sonic and the kids went further down into the caverns while exploring some more. They saw some weird and different shapes of rocks. They also saw a waterfall nearby while they walked. They went deeper into the caverns. They stopped when they found several pathways. Petrie didn't like that one of the pathways was dark. Cera then suggested another way. Chomper then said that they could use the dark path because the air smells fresher. Ducky then said that they should go where they can still see. Spike looked around a little and then spotted a vine. He bit the vine and pulled. He started to pull harder. Sonic shook his head at Spike's constant appetite. The vine then broke and some rocks fell down. Sunlight then came into the created hole and made it clearer for them to see in the dark path. Sonic and the kids smiled at Spike.

"Nice job Spike" said Littlefoot. Sonic and the others said the same thing. Spike mumbled in a happy way.

"Going the way we can see will let us see the way we're going" stated Ruby.

"You got that right" said Sonic. Littlefoot then asked Cera if they could go on the first path now that they can see better. Cera sighed and replied "Okay." They all started going on the pathway. Ducky and Ruby stopped for a moment. Ducky then told Ruby that when Ruby talks, everyone listens.

"If I could talk big, everyone would listen to me too" said Ducky.

Ruby let out a small laugh. "As long as the big isn't so big that you scare everyone."

"Like Red Claw?" said Ducky.

"Yeah, like Red Claw" said Ruby.

Sonic then called out "Hey, you guys coming?"

"We're coming" Ruby called back. Ducky and Ruby went back to join the others. Though, the group didn't notice that the hole that was made led to the Mysterious Beyond.

Outside the cave, some dinos were playing in some water. Suddenly, a shadow loomed over them. It was Red Claw and his cronies. The mean Sharpteeth then roared and scared the other dinos away so they could drink some water. Red Claw then caught the scent of something. The smell came from the hole of the big cave. Red Claw could smell that the dino children might be inside. Red Claw then smelled something else. This smell was completely new to him. The scent belonged to Sonic. The Scarred Sharptooth then looked at the cave with a growl. It could be lunchtime.

Meanwhile, Sonic and the kids continued exploring in the caverns. They searched more pathways again. After a few moments, some of them came back from the pathways.

"This cave is too small" stated Ruby.

"This cave floor is too bumpy" Ducky said while rubbing her right foot.

"This cave is too smelly" Petrie said while he sat on Spike's back. Spike took a sniff and groaned in a disgusted way. Littlefoot then said that they shouldn't give up yet.

"I'm sure that we can find a good cave" said Littlefoot.

Cera then came in while covered in some dirt and dust. "Good cave? (cough) I don't think there is such a thing." Cera then shook off the dirt and dust.

"I'm sure that we'll find something good for Chomper" said Sonic.

Chomper then called out. "Hey, guys! You have to see this!"

Sonic and the others went over to Chomper. They found the little Sharptooth looking in a small pathway.

"This is what we have to see?" Cera said in annoyance.

"I think he means what's inside the hole" said Sonic.

Chomper nodded. "Yes. Follow me."

Chomper went inside the hole. Sonic and the others followed. The hole was a bit tight on Cera and Spike but they managed to fit through. The others followed with no trouble. They were inside a different cave. It was shaped in a weird and wondrous way. The walls had wavy-line like holes throughout, giving it the appearance of a big water splash frozen in time.

"Whoa" Sonic said as he examined the walls in awe and wonder. The other kids felt astounded as well.

"What is this place?" Cera said as she looked around.

"It's a cave of many voices. Listen." Chomper answered with a smile.

Chomper then looked upwards and shouted "HELLO!" His voice echoed throughout the wavy walls.

"Wow, a 'Talkback'" said Littlefoot. Sonic then looked at Littlefoot with a raised eyebrow.

"So now they know what echoes are. Last time, they thought the sounds were something else" thought Sonic.

"A big Talkback" Ducky said happily. Ducky then shouted "AHOOOOOGA!" Her voice echoed throughout the cave.

Petrie shook a little in fear. "What was that?!"

Sonic and the others laughed a little. Sonic then looked at Petrie, "That's not the sound of a monster or a ghost, Petrie. It's just Ducky's voice rebounding off the walls" said Sonic.

"Oh" replied Petrie.

Littlefoot then looked at Ducky. "That was some roar, Ducky" Littlefoot said with a smile.

"Yeah, even I'm impressed" said Cera.

"I agree as well" said Sonic. Ducky then said that she sounds pretty big. She asked Ruby if she could teach her how to talk big. Ruby then said that she only sounds big because she's bigger than Ducky.

"But if you were bigger than you, then you'd talk bigger too" said Ruby. Ducky felt confused.

Ruby thought for a moment. "But then… it wouldn't be big to you."

Ducky then asked Ruby if she could help her try to talk big. Ruby then agreed and said that she will try to help. Sonic raised an eyebrow. He hoped Ducky knew what she's doing. The group then made some more echoes in the cave.

"ME GREAT FLYER!" Petrie echoed.

"WAHOO!" Cera echoed.

"YAHOOOOO!" Sonic echoed. Sonic and the kids laughed as they had some fun with the echoes they made. However, they didn't realize that their echoes were loud enough to reach the hole to the Mysterious Beyond. Red Claw heard the echoes clearly. He sniffed the air real well. He smelled the kids and Sonic. He now knew that they were inside the cave for sure. He roared at his henchmen that he has smelled the kids inside the hole in the nearby cave and it's time to attack. Screech and Thud hissed in agreement and went towards the cave. The kids made some more echoes. They were now getting hungry and thirsty. Sonic then said that they should head back. They all agreed and started to walk back to the Valley.

Meanwhile, Screech and Thud tried digging through the hole to the cave. But the rocks were a little too tough to dig through. Red Claw then roared in annoyance. He walked over and pushed his helpers aside. He dug through the rocks with his foot talons with little problem. He then walked away while growling that sounded like he was saying, "Must I do everything?" The dino henchmen then started digging some more through the rocks.

Back in the Valley, the kids were now eating their green lunch and some water too. Chomper ate some stinkbugs. They tasted spicy to Chomper but he liked them. Chomper then asked the others if they want to explore the caverns again. But this time, the others didn't want to go. Cera then said that they were still eating. Sonic then said that he will go with Chomper. Chomper smiled. Littlefoot then said that they will catch up later. Chomper then agreed. Sonic and Chomper walked off to go explore again. The others then saw that Ducky and Ruby weren't with them. Ducky and Ruby walked over to some other trees. Ruby then thought of what to teach Ducky on how to talk bigger. Ruby thought for a moment and then said that if Ducky wants to talk bigger, she needs to feel real big inside. So Ducky needs to think 'big' to talk 'big.'

"I can think big. Like that tree" Ducky said as she pointed to a pretty big tree.

"Good. Now BE the tree" said Ruby. Ducky then said that she couldn't really be a tree, but then Ruby said to pretend to be the big tree. Ducky then nodded and thought big. She even thought about how big and tall Saurus Rock was. They both took deep breaths. Ducky felt pretty good about herself. Ruby and Ducky walked back to the group.

"Hello my friends. My friends hello" Ducky said in a deeper tone.

"Hi Ruby" said Littlefoot. Littlefoot then looked towards the voice and saw Ducky instead. "Uh, Ducky?"

Ducky said that she was now talking big. But she sounded a little bit like Ruby than herself.

"Since I feel big now, I'm going to talk big too" Ducky said in her big voice. She then tried to get some leaves from a high branch, but she couldn't reach them.

"Well, it might be more convincing if you were a little taller" said Cera.

"She'll be taller one day" said Littlefoot.

"Guys!" shouted Chomper as he and Sonic came back.

"I think we found something that fits Chomper well" said Sonic.

"Yeah, you gotta see it" Chomper said happily. They all went back to the caverns again. It was spot a little further from Chomper's old spot. Chomper felt happy at finding a better spot to live in.

"Looks good enough to me don't you think?" Sonic asked the others. The other kids only felt a little impressed because they don't know what's like to live in a cave.

"Gee, it's… pretty nice" said Littlefoot.

"Yeah, for a cave" Cera said with an unimpressed expression. Chomper said that he really liked it better than the old spot.

"And best of all, no stone teeth" Chomper said as he pointed to the cave ceiling. The ceiling was smooth and flat. So, no more leaks. The kids laughed a little. Sonic joined in as well. Suddenly, Sonic sensed something off. He listened carefully and heard a faint breaking of rocks. Not too far off, Red Claw and his henchmen finally dug through into the caverns. Red Claw looked at his helpers and gestured with his head to follow. Sonic and the kids heard some growling sounds that didn't sound friendly. They started walking carefully.

"Sounds like someone else is in the secret caverns" Chomper said while feeling a bit scared.

"Well, there's only one way to find who it is" Littlefoot said while feeling uneasy.

"We better be careful cause I've gotta bad feeling about it" Sonic said with a frown. They stopped by a small cliff. They saw that the hole that Spike made was now a lot bigger. Chomper then said he sees that the hole led to the Mysterious Beyond. They all looked down and saw Red Claw.

"I knew it" Sonic said as he frowned at the Sharpteeth.

"Oh, no. It's Red Claw" stated Chomper.

"And F-F-Fast Biters" Petrie stuttered in fear.

The mean Sharpteeth searched around the cave. They made some more growls. Sonic then said that they should keep quiet and get moving. The kids agreed. They started to walk away carefully and quietly. The Sharpteeth kept searching. Red Claw sniffed the air again. He looked around again.

"We cannot let those Sharpteeth stay in here. No, no, no" Ducky said in her big voice. Her voice was too loud. Red Claw and his helpers then looked towards the sound up above. The group stopped and felt a little afraid.

"Shh" Sonic whispered with a finger over his mouth.

"Don't talk big now Ducky" whispered Cera. They started to walk again. But Cera didn't watch where she walked and, suddenly, she slipped off the edge. Littlefoot and Chomper grabbed her and tried to pull her back up. But they started slipping because Cera was a bit too heavy. Sonic and Ducky tried to help but they were too late as Cera, Littlefoot, and Chomper slid down a slope to the Sharpteeth! They hit the ground and looked up in fear. Red Claw roared at the 3 kids. The 3 kids took off running. Spike and Sonic knocked some rocks loose that fell and hit Red Claw. The other kids then followed the 3 kids, along with Sonic. Red Claw was a bit dazed from the rocks but he shook his head to clear his senses. Red Claw roared again and he, and his cronies chased the group again. The group then went through a small pathway. The Sharpteeth couldn't get through the small crevice. The group was safe for now. They all walked farther back into the cave.

"How are we gonna get the Sharpteeth out of the secret caverns!" exclaimed Cera. Littlefoot then said that they would have to lead them back to the Mysterious Beyond and not let them into the Valley. Spike then saw a vine. He looked at the others and made a bite and pull gesture towards the vine. The others smiled.

"Good idea Spike. We can use vines to pull down more rocks and close the opening" said Sonic.

"That's right" added Littlefoot. The group then walked some more in the cave. Suddenly, the Sharpteeth appeared from another pathway and blocked their pathway. The Sharpteeth henchmen snarled at the group. The kids felt terrified. Sonic looked around and spotted a small hole in the ground near them.

"This way! Quickly!" exclaimed Sonic. Sonic and the kids then ran and slid down the hole. The Sharpteeth missed them again. They snarled in anger. The group slid down in a fast way. The kids screamed on the way down. After a few seconds, they finally hit the bottom. They all grunted a little in pain as they toppled on each other. They started to straighten themselves up. They all started to walk again. Sonic then said that he could take on Red Claw while the rest of them get out. Chomper then said that he and Ruby could help. Littlefoot then said that it might not be a good idea and that they all should stay and work together.

"If only the cave of many voices could make our bodies as big as our voices" said Ducky. Suddenly, Sonic and Littlefoot had an idea. They looked at each other with a smile. They both were thinking the same thing.

"That's it Ducky! We can use the cave of many voices to make ourselves sound bigger than we really are" Sonic said with confidence.

"Yeah, we can use our voices to sound like there are more of us" added Littlefoot.

"And bigger of us" added Ducky.

"Like we big and angry?" said Petrie.

"Exactly!" Sonic said with a nod. They walked further into the cave.

"So, we just need to lead the Sharpteeth into the cave of many voices and use our voices to scare them back to the Mysterious Beyond" Sonic said with a determined expression.

"Right" Littlefoot said with a nod.

"No problem" Cera said with a grin. The others agreed as well. They all walked to find the echo cave. Suddenly, a crevice close by them broke apart, revealing Red Claw! The mean Sharptooth roared at the group. The kids screamed while Sonic frowned at Red Claw.

"Run!" shouted Sonic. The group took off running again. Suddenly, Screech and Thud appeared and blocked their path. The group ran the other way, but then they ran into Red Claw again. The Sharpteeth growled at them. The kids looked back and forth at Red Claw and the henchmen. The Sharpteeth have cornered them. Sonic then had an idea as he looked at the rocky ground. He then looked at the kids.

"I'll distract them and you guys hide" said Sonic. The kids nodded. Sonic then dashed around and started gathering rocks and dust in a small tornado. The result created a small dust cloud. The kids then took cover behind some big rocks. The Sharpteeth could not see anything in the dust cloud. They roared in annoyance. Sonic then stopped dashing and zoomed over to where the kids were hiding. The dust cloud started to vanish away into nothing. The Sharpteeth looked around but saw nothing. Red Claw sniffed the air again. He knew that they were still here somewhere. The group slowly peeked from behind their cover spot.

"Don't move. Red Claw can't see you if you're still" said Chomper.

Sonic raised an eyebrow. "Wait, doesn't that trick only work in movies?" thought Sonic.

"But he can still smell us" said Cera. The Sharpteeth sniffed the air again. Ducky then looked over to see the hole that lead to the echo cave. Ducky then told the others that they were close to the cave of many voices.

"But the Sharpteeth will see us if we go over there" said Ruby.

Ducky then thought of an idea. She remembered what Sonic told her before, about size.

"They might not see me. I am small" stated Ducky.

"Okay, but be careful" said Sonic. Ducky nodded. She then walked over to a small rock near the Sharpteeth and hid. She watched the Sharpteeth carefully. Red Claw sniffed the air some more. She then walked quickly past the Sharpteeth. Red Claw and his helpers didn't see her. Ducky went inside the small hole. Red Claw then sniffed again and looked at the big rocks. The scent got stronger as he got closer. The other kids started to shake in fear, but Sonic got ready to defend the others. Before Red Claw got any closer, everyone heard a loud voice that shouted "AHOOOOGA!" The Sharpteeth looked around in confusion. They looked at the ceiling as they heard the echoes. They heard more echoes.

"That's Ducky" stated Cera.

"Alright, now's our chance" said Sonic. Sonic then zoomed over to the hole. The other kids then followed quickly and quietly, and went inside. The Sharpteeth didn't see them. Sonic and the others met up with Ducky.

"Good job Ducky" said Sonic. Ruby then said that her voice is really scaring and confusing the Sharpteeth.

"I may be little but I can pretend big" said Ducky.

"Alright, guys. Let's give those Sharpteeth a REAL scare!" exclaimed Sonic. The kids nodded and replied "Yes." They all made scary sounds and some roars as well. The Sharpteeth looked around with raised eyebrows. The group made more growls and other sounds. Screech and Thud felt a little afraid of the loud echoes. The 2 Fast Biters started to walk away quickly. Petrie then peeked out of the hole to watch. He then told the others that the Fast Biters ran away. Red Claw still stood his ground though. Littlefoot then told Chomper to use Sharptooth language to tell Red Claw that a big and angry herd is coming. Chomper nodded and shouted the words in Sharptooth tongue. Red Claw seemed a little afraid.

"We are big and… we… are… ANGRY!" shouted Ducky.

"ANGGGGRRRRRRYYYYYY!" Sonic shouted in a deep tone. Red Claw raised both eyebrows in fear and started to run away. Petrie then told the others that Red Claw has now left. The Sharpteeth started to run back to the Mysterious Beyond. Sonic and the gang cheered in happiness. Sonic then told them that they need to close the hole. The kids nodded. They all ran to find the hole that led to the Mysterious Beyond. They all worked together to seal the hole. The kids pulled on some vines to break loose another big rock. Sonic helped as well. After some more effort, the big rock came loose and closed the hole. The group cheered in happiness again. Now they would not have to worry about Red Claw and his cronies coming in to Chomper's cave. Chomper said that the cave will be a great place to live in. The kids thanked Ducky for her bravery.

"We never make it into cave without you sneaking in" said Petrie. Spike mumbled in agreement. Ducky felt pretty good about herself. The others nodded in agreement. Ducky smiled.

"Sometimes being little is better than talking big. But I know that I will always be big, in here" Ducky said as she put her hands on her heart.

"It's like I said before, the size of something doesn't always count…"said Sonic.

"…It's what you can do with it" finished Ducky. Sonic nodded.

"Yep, yep, yep" said Ruby. Ruby now sounded like Ducky. Sonic and the others laughed. After some time, Sonic and the kids went back to the Valley to have some more fun. However, they didn't notice that a certain metal Sharp Beak was watching. Eggman watched the Valley once more through Ichy's vision. The evil scientist grinned evilly.

In outer space…

A meteorite, the size of a large boulder, was heading towards the Earth. The meteor was covered with green fire. Inside the meteor, there was a dark green colored Dome-Head. He was piloting the meteor to fly towards the Earth. He was about to enter the atmosphere. The Dome-Head had a crystal like gauntlet on his left arm. He traced his finger on some rocky panel. A screen made of energy appeared. It showed him a large blue colored rock. It was the Stone of Cold Fire. The Dome-Head then grinned sinisterly as he was about to enter the planet.

End of Chapter 1

More adventures soon!
